Respect

Gwalgen has recently rejoined Taekwondo in an effort to regain some of his lost discipline and apologize to himself for getting so fat.

Today's class was interesting. The instructor sits us down and goes over a number of the rules of conduct, respect, and convention in the dojo. It was really interesting to hear about the hierarchy, the history and most importantly, why.

It appears the story of the Cuban Taekwondo master had a strong affect on martial arts all over the world. Years this guy would have trained only to thow it all away on some tournament. It makes me want to go out and watch Redbelt again. Though I still can't imagine how the guy could have done that...lose his cool after so many years.
